I bought a Cowon iAudio U3(1Gb model, there's a 2Gb). It just has a FAT 
file system, so you can use it as memory stick. It can play videos back, 
but I haven't gotten it to accept something from ffmpeg(at least from 
OSX's ffmpegX and ffmpeg in ubuntu, I still have yet to try the compiled 
version in Gentoo). Audio support is good, mp3, wma, wav, flac, ogg. It 
has voice recording also, along with a line-in jack. Audio playback is 
also good.

Good Luck
